    Thank you for making this so simple without using demeaning words. I am a welding instructor and you just wont believe how many students want to become welders yet they cannot read a tape measure. I was looking for a video that i could upload for them to use without their lack of knowledge being spread or without someone in a video saying things that are demeaning. Thank you

      I've heard it said, why learn fractions since we will never use them in our daily lives. Carpentry is all about fractions, decimals, angles, and curves. Thanks for your Comment.

    Tip anytime you want to know half of a fraction just double the denominator and no the hook should be hooked and pull taught to read and if maleasuring on the inside of something it should be butted up the hook moves to compensate for this

    Great but how do you explain that for small measurements, you suddenly switch to the decimal system (thousands of an inch)😮 why not keep fraction i.e 1/1024 of an inch for example 😂

    Why 1inch is 8 sections? Why not 10 to simplify things, then 1/16 then 2/32 WHAAAAAAAAT?
